Fridge-Sized Device That Grows Pot May Be Greatest Appliance Since The Microwave

April 20, 2017

A Los Angeles entrepreneur could make a lot of green with his new invention: A refrigerator-sized device that grows pot.

“We wanted to create something that could be ‘plug and plant,’ where you didn’t have to have any previous knowledge whatsoever,” Ofir says in the video above. “Most people fail because there’s so many different parameters and you’re basically sort of left on your own.”

The problem with growing the wacky weed is that it’s sensitive.

“It’s very prone to different deficiencies in the nutrients, it’s very prone to different temperature and humidity changes,” Ofir says. “You can easily get pests if you don’t control it properly.”

The Leaf machine includes everything needed to grow a seedling into dried cannabis. It takes care of such basics as light, water and nutrients.
